Description:You may use anybody you want to build your $70M roster. But, if you advance to round 2, you must use these same 25 players and build a $120M roster, where you use a different season of each player (than you used in round 1). Different season means different year, not a different version of the same year.

League Name:Dual Team .500 TwistSalary Cap:$100 Million

Description:Pick any two single-season teams from history. Make note of their real-life W-L record. The cumulative number of wins must be within two of the cumulative number of losses. For example, 86-76 + 71-83 = 157-159, OK.... but 85-76 + 71-83 = 156-159 NO). Using players from both rosters, TWIST them to any season to build your team (use baseball-reference... only need to have played in one game to be eligible to be twisted).

League Name:Everybody PlaysSalary Cap:$110 Million

Description:There are only two rules. No players under $2 million on your roster. No batters with 600+ PA/162 allowed on your roster (599 OK, 600 NO). THe DH will be in effect in this theme.

Description:Using the digits 0 thru 9, create five two-digit numbers, using each digit exactly once (i.e., 18, 93, 24, 56, 70). You must use 5 players from each of those seasons. All years are eligible, but you can only one year for each two-digit number (i.e., 93 can represent either 1893 or 1993, not both). You must spend between $15M and $30M per season.

Last season I started building all these teams right away and bombed out of the first round. I don't want to jinx it this year. If I somehow sneak through, I'll be scrambling. Oh, the cruel paradoxes of life.

2012 players will be allowed (the new season has always been allowed in round 2). I doubt too many people factored that into their 80M roster building process (especially since the 2012 salary would be unknown).
